Chapter 411: Failure

Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association mall, Warehouse no.234

“Food is here.” I informed others after reading the delivery notification I had just received in my grimoire.

“What you ordered already?” Hearing that I had already ordered the food, Anna’s attention moved from Lorenzo to me.

“Don’t worry. I ordered you a pizza while the rest of us are having burgers and fries. If anyone wants something else, you are free to order for yourselves.” I was hungry and did not care if others did not want burgers and fries for lunch.

“Corey, stop crying. Go wash your face and let’s have lunch.” Susan asked Corey to clean herself up and have lunch with the rest of us.

“Okay,” letting out all of her foul mood, Corey summoned her grimoire to clean herself.

“I would hate to be that guy, but I only ordered for the 7 of us. I thought she would have left by now. I swear I did not do that on purpose.” I really did not do it on purpose. How could I know that Corey would end up having her lunch with us here?

“That’s okay. We can share.” Susan rolled her at me. And offered to share her lunch with Corey.

“There is no need for that. Old man Lorenzo was leaving.” Anna said that since Lorenzo would be leaving, Corey could have his share of lunch.

“I was?” Puzzled, Lorenzo asked Anna

“Didn’t I ask you to call the council and ask them to prepare the documents for me?” Anna reminded her grand-uncle.

“Right Now?” Lorenzo asked dumbfoundedly.

“Yes, ask them to share the documents with my grimoire. I have a lot of free time here. Might as well do some work for a change.” Anna planned to stay with me till I moved to the Royal palace for my safety, worried that assassins would return to finish their assignment.

“Great, I will get to it right away.” Lorenzo beamed with joy hearing Anna. When Anna’s grandfather decided to pass his title of Southern emperor to Anna, Lorenzo opposed his idea strongly.

Those that bore the title of the southern emperor should not only have to be the strongest to watch over the empire but should have the patience to run an empire. Anna was strong, powerful, but her young age limited her patience. So Lorenzo opposed Anna to be crowned with the title Southern Emperor. But Anna’s Grandfather still handed down the title Southern emperor to Anna, saying, “with time, she will gain the patience and become worthy of the title just like I did. I hope you will be there to support her through her journey.” Finally, seeing some progress in Anna, Lorenzo was zealous and hurried to make the arrangements as per Anna’s request.

“Now, we have enough for everyone.” Said Anna looking at Corey. With Lorenzo gone, Corey was given his lunch.

“Yes, we do. Everyone dig in.”

“Yes, you heard me right the first time, and the second time, I said to share the documents with the princess’s grimoire. How many times do I have to repeat myself?” Anna’s interest in anything other than combat was a great shock to everyone at the council. They could not believe the words Lorenzo spoke.

Hanging up the call with the council, Lorenzo checked the status shown next to the contact info of his niece, Anna’s mother. It read offline for the last 18hrs or so, about the same amount of time since he last spoke to her when she left for the mission: forsaken treasure. Now she was online, finally. So he hurriedly called her to check up on her,

“Uncle, what is it?” Anna’s mother answered the call.

“I called to check up on you guys. How are you and sister in law? Did that ex-husband of yours show up?” Lorenzo asked about his niece and sister-in-law’s condition.

“We are fine, but the mission was a total bust. And that bastard never showed up; Instead, a bunch of Half step demigods appeared at the critical moment of the task. I did not notice their presence until they showed themselves. That was weird, and I don’t know how they pulled that off.

The group of half-step demigods was large, about 30 to 35, not counting the others in hiding. They also brought nearly 100 peak card emperors with them.

They seemed to have come prepared. They knew the number of soldiers that mother brought to the mission. They knew every little detail about the mission, including the card realm of the soldiers that followed mother on the task.

If the reinforcement I brought with me hadn’t backed my mother, they would have successfully annihilated my mother and her army. I wanted to capture them all, but Unfortunately, the Supreme being’s reinforcement arrived, and we had no choice but to retreat. But I still managed to catch a few of the assassins for interrogation.

That was a bust because, miraculously, their memory was wiped clean as they entered some kind of vegetative state. I should have known that he would not show up in person and was the type to get others to do his dirty work.” Anna’s mother thought that her ex-husband had sent the assassins.

” I faced the same problem interrogating one of the assassins caught trying to assassinate that boy Wyatt. ” Lorenzo narrated his situation with Grinch to Anna’s mother.

“You think my ex was behind the assassination too?” Seeing the similarity between the Ambush and the assassination attempt, Anna’s mother speculated that her ex was behind the assassination attempt on Wyatt.

“No, I no longer think that your ex was behind the ambush, let alone the assassination. There is something else is afoot here.” Lorenzo knew his niece’s ex-husband, and her ex was not capable of mobilizing so many card emperors and half-step card demigods. He was a capable scumbag, but he did not have this much pull.

“If not him, then who?” Anna’s mother asked. After all, Lorenzo was the one who told her that her ex might be trying to ambush her mother.

“I think your daughter Knows the answers, but for some reason, she chose to stay quiet. I bet she will no longer remain silent, knowing that the person behind the assassination attempt was behind the Ambush on sister-in-law.” Lorenzo knew Anna was holding back on the information that she got from the assassins trapped in her field card. He did not know why Anna was holding out, but he decided to trust her for now. But now things have changed. The person behind the assassination attempt tried to ambush his sister-in-law, Anna’s grandmother.
